The male dog, a Dogue de Bordeaux named Brutus, was attacking a male sheep.

The ram sustained puncture wounds and the man was able to secure the dogs in a yard.

Magistrate Anne Longden said Jackson had re-homed the dogs because she was unable to contain them. Jackson had also paid for the vet bills.
